pretty and witty and gay

I Graduated from
Mother McAuley
high school in
1969
we had a song
we are great
we are fine
we are the class of 69

football jerseys were very popular back in the day
people used to wear then
to display
the year they graduated

I remember walking to Evergreen Plaza
and stopping off at Tartons Tray?
a popular teen spot
in Carson Piere Scott and Company
before purchasing my jersey

I asked the women behind the counter if she had any in my size
with the year 69

she gave me
the look

the over the granny glasses look
I wondered why I was getting the look

but I persisted
do you have any
69 shirts?


She said
No
go home and ask your mother why

so
I went home and asked my mother
and she had no idea

we were both confused
why would my mother know a anything about what was in stock or out of stock at Carsons
afterall
she was a stay at home mom


when I was in college, I heard someone say the word
dildo
I did not know what it meant
so I looked it up
it said
an obnoxious person
so one day I saw a friend at the other end of the campus,
he was quite an obnoxious person so I yelled at the top of my lungs
Hey DILDO
well,
you can imagine his surprise
 when he heard me loud and clear
 along with the rest of the student body


he caught up to me and said,
do you have any idea what that word means
and I said
yes, I certainly do
and it fits you to a tee


the rest is another story


fast forward
today we hear words like
hook up
which
 could mean

meet later
fix up
intercourse
casual sex
networking

etc

in the old days
queer
did not mean gay
it meant
wierd

and today
gay
does not mean homosexual
it means wierd

in the good old days
gay
meant happy

Remember the song
I feel pretty, oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay
and I pity
any girl who isnt me today

what does that song mean today
Im so confused
but thats another story

the first week in college a guy told me to beware of the pit...he said it was in the basement of a frat house filled with matresses, guys try to lure you there and heavens knows what would become of you if you were ever taken there...a few days later a frat boy asked if he could drive me home from a party...as soon as I got in his car, he asked me if I wanted to go to the pit...I almost jumped out of his moving car...I told him I wasnt that kind of girl and he had alot of nerve even thinking about such a thing and that I wanted him to stop and let me out this instant...turns out all he wanted to do was take me to the pizza pit, and when we arrived and I told him I had never had a pizza before in my entire life and that I really did not like anything that ended in a vowel...well, needless to say, I never ever saw or heard from him again.

While I was attending college earlier in this decade, I had the chance to spend time with a lot of younger people. They were constantly saying, "Do you know what I mean?" Most of the time I had to answer, "Not really."
